ABOUT THE MUSIC
Passacaglia on an Old English Tune • Rebecca Clarke was born and
educated in Britain, but spent most of her life in the United States. She
wrote close to 100 works in her lifetime, though by the time of her death
in 1979, even the 20 that had previously been published were out of
print. Since then, scholarship and interest in her work has revived.
Clarke's style combines elements of impressionism, post-romanticism,
and neo-classicism to create a powerful musical statement. She wrote the
"Passacaglia on an Old English Tune" and performed its premiere herself
in 1941. The work is based on a theme by Thomas Tallis. Clarke
transforms the simple melody into something much more potent and full
of emotion. The piece was dedicated "To BB," which could either refer
to Clarke's niece Magdalen, or to Benjamin Britten. (The latter would
make sense as Britten had organized a funeral for Frank Bridge, an
influential composer and friend of Clarke's, that same year. The
Passacaglia creates feelings of grief and nostalgia that could easily have
accompanied such a loss.)
Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV 1007 • Johann Sebastian Bach wrote his
six Cello Suites during his time as music director at Cothen, probably
around 1720. In this position, he had no church musical responsibilities
and so was able to compose mostly secular music for domestic and
pedagogical use. The suites were at first believed to be etudes, and for
many years were paid little attention. Today, however, they have become
an essential part of the repertoire for the cello and a plethora of other
instruments, including the viola. Because Bach left no manuscript and
little or no markings indicating tempi, dynamics and other aspects of
performance, much has been inferred from other copies of his
manuscript, especially those written by Bach's second wife, Anna
Magdalena. The suites each showcase the various technical possibilities
of the instrument, and are comprised of six movements: an improvisatory
prelude followed by five variously styled dance movements. Perhaps the

�best-known movement of the G major Suite, the Prelude, consists
primarily of arpeggiated chords. The dance movements that follow cover
the entire stylistic spectrum, alternately poised, exuberant,
contemplative, carefree, and full of joy. Though the concept seems
almost too simple, Bach's innovative combination of contrapuntal,
harmonic, and rhythmic techniques makes the work sophisticated and
whole even without accompaniment.
Fantasie, Op. 94 • The Fantasie was composed in 1820 in the context of
a larger work, Potpourri for Viola and Orchestra. Hummel's Potpourri
was made up of eight distinctive sections containing music from the
operas of Mozart and Rossini, as well as improvisatory and fugal
elements. In its shortened form, it has become a staple of the viola
repertoire. Editions have been published for other instruments as well,
including violin, cello, and even string quartet. A gravely emotional G
minor beginning sets the tone for the Fantasie. The piece then switches
gears with a florid Andante section in B flat major, based on the aria "II
mio tesoro" from Mozart's Don Giovanni. A rollicking Allegro ma non
troppo in D major carries the piece to a triumphant finish.
Sonata for Viola and Piano • The Sonata for Viola and Piano was
written between 1825 and 1828. In his Memoirs, Glinka describes it as
"cleaner" than his other compositions of this early period. The first
movement was composed in 1825 while he was living in St. Petersburg
as a sort of transition from academic composition to "real" music. Glinka
composed the second movement while visiting Moscow in 1828. Though
he started work on the third movement, it was ultimately never realized.
(The Rondo theme originally intended for the third movement was later
incorporated in a polka for children.) Thus, the second movement
concludes the sonata. (Most of the work done by Vadim Borisovsky to
complete the piece consisted of elaborating the piano part.) In the end,
Glinka was pleased with the sonata's "clever counterpoint" and saw it as
one of his most successful compositions. The piece has a certain frank
sincerity that, combined with a distinctly Russian flavor and dramatic
mood, makes it both exciting and accessible for listeners.
String Quartet No. 1 in E minor, "From My Life" • Smetana's String
Quartet No. 1 in E minor "From My Life" was written in 1876, two years
after its composer tragically lost his hearing. Its title reveals the quartet's
autobiographical nature. In an 1878 letter to Josef Srb, Smetana explains,

�"I wanted to depict in music the course of my life ... the composition is
almost only a private one and so purposely written for four instruments
which, as in a small circle of friends, talk among themselves about what
has oppressed me so significantly." Indeed, the work is made up of
separate musical ideas that can be said to represent its composer's state
of mind at significant points in his life. At the time the piece was
composed, such programmatic works were for the most part reserved for
the symphony, rather than the string quartet. This makes "From My
Life" somewhat unique as a chamber work. The quartet was initially
rejected by the Prague Chamber Music Association for its "dubious
orchestral style," as well as for what were then considered instances of
technical impossibility. It was finally performed in the Konvikt Hall of
Prague on March 29, 1879. The first movement is a depiction of
Smetana's youth - his love of music and a desire for something
indescribable. It ends with a moment of foreshadowing in the first violin,
a premonition of deafness, ultimately signified in the final movement by
a long-held high E.

�Stefano Donaudy aspired to be a great opera composer, finding
popular success in the genre from ·the age of 14. His composition teacher
said he had an "effortless melodic spirit." Donaudy's operas did not endure
at a time when the works of Verdi and Puccini dominated the operatic
landscape, but his Arie di Stile Antico are now quite popular for recitalists.
These pieces are in the traditional vein for which Donaudy is best known.
Biographical material on the composer is strangely limited. We can only
guess at the origins of the passionate intensity of his songs (giving some
credit to Donaudy's Sicilian roots!), but, for whatever reason, they convey a
tells of budding love
l
great generosity of heart and soul. Venuto è l'Aprile
between mythical nymphs and wood spirits. The voice begins alone,
followed by the piano in the same sprightly melody, and they seem to chase
each other and dance, like the song's characters. Bittersweetly, Luoghi
sereni e cari recalls youth and the pain of a first heartbreak. The
accompaniment is at times wistful and music-box-like, and at other times
swelling with more mature colors. A deeper, unresolved loss is mourned in
the operatic Quando ti rivedro. The speaker asks when she will see her
unfaithful lover again, but the music tells us that she knows he will not
return. Ending the set with lighter fare, Ognun ripicchia e nicchia tells
the familiar story of a promising date gone awry.
When Franz Schubert was eight, he studied with organist Michael
Holzer, who reportedly said, with tears in his eyes, ''Whenever I wished to
impart something new to him, he always knew it already." Schubert is
perhaps the Giant of German lieder. With astonishing speed he wrote
hundreds of songs in addition to a myriad of other compositions in his
short life. Everything in the gamut of emotional experience has probably
been expressed in a Schubert song. Additionally, these musical gems evoke
images and sensations of water, breezes, sunset, and the like. Schubert's
idealism comes through in music that elevates the human experience. "The
important elements of Schubert's character were a love of truth, and a
marked hatred of jealousy, tenderness with firmness, sincerity and
affection ... " These qualities are exemplified in An die Musik. This song is
like a duet between the voice and the piano's melodic bass-line. Schubert
wrote the last two songs in this set while struggling with illness and
depression. Equivocation between minor and major in Auf dem Wasser
zu singen expresses awe, sadness and ultimately joy in the face of life's
ephemeral beauty and the speaker's own mortality. The speaker of
Friihlingsglaube comforts her own "poor heart" and welcomes the
promise of spring heralded by "gentle breezes." One supposes that the
composition of such songs must have helped Schubert cope with his illness.
After he died, his tomb was given Grillparzer's famous epitaph: "The art of
music has entombed here a rich treasure but even fairer hopes."

�Though Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel displayed prodigious talent
early on, her family strongly discouraged her pursuit of a musical career.
She transferred much of her creative energy into advising her brother, Felix.
Nonetheless, she composed prolifically, developing a distinct musical voice.
In 1846, she summoned the courage to publish, announcing it in an
apologetic letter to her brother, "I hope you won't think badly of me ... if
the pieces are well liked and I receive additional offers ... it will be a great
stimulus to me, something I've always needed in order to create ... " She
died soon after. Today, the majority of her works remain in family archives,
unavailable to performers and listeners. These three songs represent some
of her great emotional range, and ability to create richness through relatively
simple, clean melodies with novel twists. An ironic major-minor conflict,
and rhythmically crowded phrases embody the broken-hearted turmoil of
Verlust. Sehnsucht begins on a long note that fades away like the distant
"dance tune" it describes. Its melody moves primarily in descending scales,
but at times rises and holds our expectation, mirroring the speaker's unfed
yearning. Evoking the brilliance of nineteenth century Italian opera, ltalien
soars, dance-like, in an outburst of pure, triumphant joy. About a month
before Hensel died, she wrote of such bliss in her diary. Perhaps beginning
to share her work with the world gave her a new freedom and lightness of
heart. "Yesterday the first breath of spring was in the air. It has been a
long winter ... indeed a winter full of suffering ... My inmost heart is ... full
of thankfulness.... I am quite overcome with my own happiness."
Carrie Jacobs-Bond was a piano prodigy, but did not pursue
music professionally until after the death of her second husband, when she
lost nearly everything. She fought poverty for years, .providing for herself
and her son by writing, selling and performing songs "unpretentious as a
wild rose." She suffered stage fright, and was criticized for being "plain and
angular." An untrained vocalist, she courageously sang and played her
songs on her own at first because she could not find anyone else to do it.
Ultimately she became quite famous and successful for her music and
earnest performances. Upon hearing her most famous song, At the End of a
Perfect Day, in concert, a Viennese composer visiting the United States stood
up, thinking it was the national anthem, so revered and beloved it was. It is
easy to imagine Jacobs-Bond delivering these pearls of wisdom, the HalfMinute Songs. They are infused with her uprightness, forthrightness, and
most of all, her consciousness that in making music, she was giving a muchneeded gift: "I wonder what the world would be like if there were nobody
to do the simple things!" Bond wrote, "I wonder how folks would get along
without snappers, and hooks and eyes, and pins. Nothing could be much
commoner than they are, but they fill a very much-needed place. You see,
lots of folks can get along without a point lace collar, but I should hate to
see folks try to get along without the other commodities I've spoken of.
And sometimes songs (simple songs) like pins keep folks together."

�Gabriel Fauré was reportedly very charming and seductive, like so
many of his melodies. He was quite busy as a teacher and organist, and
could not devote the majority of his time to composition. Fauré's life
spanned the musical developments of greats like Berlioz, Berg, and
Shostakovich, and he was educated with a wide range of musical voices
from an early age, giving him an extensive palette. The musical language he
created out of all that he absorbed was one of the most modern of its time.
Mandoline is an excellent example. Its melody seems to begin simply, as
does the picture of the archetypal lovers it describes, but falls into a colorful
and amorous reverie, destabilizing our sense of the key. Au bard de l'eau
describes the infinite richness of the moments two people can share when
they live and love in the present. Les berceaux juxtaposes the rocking of
large ships in a harbor with the rocking of cradles. Both are represented in
the music: long phrases stretch over a shorter constant rocking figure in the
piano's right hand. The set closes with the breathless Chanson d'amour.
In it, the poet ecstatically enumerates everything he loves about his fiery
lover, from head to feet.
One of our greatest living composers, Stephen Sondheim is a
lover of words, internal process, and impeccability of speech and
expression. Through his songs we enter vast emotional and intellectual
landscapes, each rich and unique; but no matter how smart, novel, or dark,
they are simply human at the core. Sondheim trained with Oscar
Hammerstein, and followed in his footsteps to earn a place in the Pantheon
of musical theatre composers. In Sondheim's work one hears the influence
of opera (Puccini in his crowd scenes) and musical theatre (Hammerstein in
his love songs). Additionally, there is an incredibly current, vernacular and
bitingly intellectual use of language. The composer has an uncanny ability
to tap into a character's soul and mind, often through the musicality of
natural speech patterns: An extended rest may be a moment of clarity, a
dotted rhythm a hesitation, and so on. These three songs are full of such
telling moments. They present three young women coming of age, seeking
freedom. Johanna, from Sweeney Todd, is in the care of an oppressive and
lascivious ward, kept in her room all day, listening to the songs of the caged
birds outside her window. She sings back to them in Green Finch and
Linnet Bird Johanna sings a tuneful and light melody, yet a persistent,
somewhat dissonant, beat in the piano belies her growing dissatisfaction.
The second selection is from an episode of ABC's "Studio 67 ," Evening
Primrose, that tells the story of a group of people who have decided to
separate from society by living in a department store. Ellen was brought to
the store by her mother when she was very young, and has always wished to
leave. When a disillusioned poet comes to stay in the store, Ellen and he
fall in love. She pleads him to escape with her in Take Me to the World
The melody evokes classic musical theatre, but the accompaniment is
ominous and harmonically "crunchy." The last character is Cinderella,
from Into the Woods, who tells how she really came to leave her glass slipper
On the Steps of the Palace.

�In selecting this program, I noticed that the pieces I was drawn to
shared common threads such as nature, dance, water, flowers, birds,
positive existentialism, idyllic settings and awakenings. Such themes and
motifs are hardly surprising to find in art songs and musical theatre pieces.
However, I want to highlight them in celebration of Spring and all it
represents. If I titled this evening, I might borrow from Schubert and
Uhland and call it Frühlingsglaube (Spring-Faith). I wish you all the best in the
new season and forward ... Finally, in the words of Bek David Campbell,
"Please enjoy."

�I. Venuto è l' Aprile
Text: Alberto Donaudy (1880-1941)

April has come

Venuto è l'Aprile tessendo ghirlande,
E ninfee silvani sulprato raunando.
A ccordan gli ontani i loro strumenti
E ai primi concenti de/ vento
Fra i rami comincia la danza.
Prima un fauno s'avanza...
La sua ninja lo mira... S ospira...
E volano insiem!

April has come, weaving garlands,
And nymphs and sylvans are gathering on the meadow.
The alder trees are tuning their instruments
And at the first harmony of the wind
Among the branches, the dance begins.
First a faun advances .. .
His nymph looks at him .. . Sighs .. .
And they fly away together!

Folleggian le coppie tra ifonti e le rive,
E poi nelle selve scompaion furtive ...
Ma Clori, che intanto gelosa è di Nice,
Aspetta infelicee so/a, nelpianto,
Che cessi la danza.

The couples frolic among the fountains and streams,
And then into the forest disappear furtively . ..
But Clori, who meanwhile is jealous of Nice,
Waits unhappily and alone, in tears,
For the dance to stop.

Maun pastore s'avanza...
E già Clori lo mira... S ospira...
E volano insiem!

But a shepherd advances . . .
And Clori looks at him .. . Sighs . ..
And they fly away together!

Luoghi sereni e cari
Text: Alberto Donaudy

Places serene and dear

Luoghi sereni e cari, io vi ritrovo
Quali ai bei dì lasciai digiovinezza!
Gli stessi amati aspetti
Ovunque iipasso io muovo...
Sol non mi punge ancor
Che l'amarezza dei mesti giorni
In cui i tormenti d'un triste inganno
Insegnato m'hanno pei primicosa
Al mondo è dolor!

Places serene and dear, I find you again
Just as beautiful as I left you in the days of my youth!
The same beloved sights
Wherever I tum my step ...
Only now do I not sting with
The bitterness of mournful days
During which the torments of a sad deception
Taught me for the first time what
In the world is griefl

Lungi da voi fuggitoal/or
Cercai di trovar pace al mio tradito core.
Andaifin oltre mare, ed altre donne amai...
Ma nu/la può /enire quel do/ore
Ch'è piaga viva in ogni core d'amante
Che nell'amore aveva ugualfade
Che pregando ii Signor!

Having fled far from you, then
Trying to find peace for my betrayed heart.
I went beyond the sea, and loved other women ...
But nothing can lessen that pain
Which is a living wound in every lover's heart
Who had as much faith in love
As in praying to the Lord!

�Quando ti rivedrò
Text: Alberto Donaudy

When shall I see you again

Quando ti rivedrò,
Infida amante che mifosti si cara?
T ante !agrime ho piante
Or che a/trui ci separa,
Che temo sia fuggita ogni gioia
Per sempre di mia vita.
Eppur più mi dispero,
Più ritorno a sperare.
Più t'odio ne/pensiero,
E più ancora l'anima mia ti torna ad amar.

When shall I see you again,
Unfaithful lover who was so dear to me?
So many tears have I wept
Now that another separates us,
That I fear every joy will be gone
Forever from my life.
And yet the more I despair,
The more I return to hoping.
The more I despise you in my thoughts,
Then once again my soul turns to loving you.

Quando ti rivedrò,
Infida amante che mifosti cara cosi?

When will I see you again,
Unfaithful lover who was dear to me like that?

Ognun ripicchia e nicchia
Text: Alberto Donaudy
Ognun ripicchia e nicchia ognor
Su un caso strano a dir.
Ma perchè, ma cos'è,
Che tanto amor dovea cosifinir?
Orio voglio la mia storia raccontar
T anto bujfa ell'è:
Me ne givo un di con Monna Lapa insiem,
Che si cara m'era al cor,
Peri campi a raccoglier.ftor. ..
Ma la storia comincia qui.

Everyone repeats and hesitates each time
Over a case strange to tell.
But why, but how is it,
That so much love must end this way?
Now I want to tell my story
So funny it is:
I was walking one day with my lady Lapa,
Who was so dear to my heart,
Through the fields to pick flowers ...
But the story begins here.

U'! cos'è quel ch'io veggo là?
Un grillo o un rusignuol?
Più be! ve'! Più be! ve'!
La mia beltà sedette su un poggiuol.
Lei sperava di poter cosi
Coder ii divin cantor,
Ma al trillar de/ grillo
E al pronto suo balzar
Diede un grido, e nelfuggir,
Sù ove prima seggea cascò....
E la storia.ftnisce Ii.

Ooh! What is that I see there?
A cricket or a nightingale?
Look- more beautiful! Look- more beautiful!
My beauty sat on a little hill.
That way she hoped to be able
To enjoy the divine singer,
But at the trill of the cricket
And his quick leap
She gave a shriek, and as she fled,
I fell on the place where she had sat,
And the story ends there .

�II. An die Musik
Text: Franz von Schober (1797-1828)
Du ho/de Kunst, in wievielgrauen Stunden,
Wo mich des Lebens wilder Kreis umstrickt,
Hast du mein Herz zu warmer Lieb' entzunden,
Hast mich in eine beßre Welt entrückt!

To Music

Oft hat ein Seufzer, deiner Harf'entjlossen,
Bin süßer, heiliger Akkord von dir
Den Himmel beßrer Zeiten mir erschlossen,
Du ho/de Kunst, ich danke dir dafür!

Often has a sigh, flowing from your harp,
A sweet, holy chord from you
Unlocked the heaven of better times for me,
You dear art, I thank you for that!

Auf dem Wasser zu singen
Text: Graf zu Stollberg (17 48-1821)

To be sung on the water

Mitten im S chimmer der spiegelnden Wellen
Gleitet, wie S chwäne, der wankende Kahn;
Ach, auf der Freude sanjtschimmernden Wellen
Gleitet die S eele dahin wie der Kahn;
Denn von dem Himmel herab auj die Weflen
Tanzet das Abendrot rund um den Kahn.

Amid the shimmer of the mirroring waves
Glides, as swans do, the wobbling little boat;
Ah, on joy's soft-shimmering waves,
Glides the soul there like the boat;
Then from the heavens down on the waves
Dances the evening's red glow around the boat,

Ober den Wipftln des westlichen Haines
Winket uns.freund!ich der rötliche Schein;
Unter den Zweigen des ostlichen Haines
Säuselt der Kalmus im rötlichen Schein;
Freude des Himme!s und Ruhe des Haines
Atmet die Seel im erriitenden Schein.

Over the treetops of the westerly wood
The red glow winks to us friendily,
Under the boughs of the easterly wood
Rustle the reeds in the reddish shine;
Joy of the heavens and peace of the woods
Breathes the soul, in the reddening shine.

Ach, es entschwindet mit tauigem Flügel
Mir auf den wiegenden Wellen die Zeit.
Morgen entschwinde mit schimmerndem Flügel
Wieder wie gestern und heute die Zeit,
Bis ich auf höherem strah!enden Flügel
Seiber entschwinde der wechselnden Zeit.

Ah, with dewy wings, time vanishes
From me, on the rocking waves.
Tomorrow, time flies on shimmering wings,
Again, like yesterday and today,
Until I, on higher sparkling wings
Myself will vanish in the changing time.

Friihlingsglaube
Text: Ludwig Uhland (1787-1862)

Spring-faith

Die linden Lüfte sind erwacht,
Sie säuseln und wehen Tag unt Nacht,
Sie scha.ffen an a/fen Enden.
Duft, o neuer Klang!
0 frischer
Nun, armes Herze, sei nicht Bang!
Nun muss such al/es, al/es wenden.

The gentle breezes are awake,
They rustle and waft day and night,
They are at work everywhere.
0 fresh scent, o new sound!
Now, poor heart, be not afraid!
Now must everything, everything change.

Die Weft wird schöner mitjedem Tag,
Man weiss nicht, was noch werden mag,
Das Blühen will nicht enden;
Es blüht das ftrnste, tieftte ta!,
Nun, armes Herz, vergiss der Qua!!
Nun muss sich al/es, alles wenden.

The world grows lovelier with every day,
One does not know what yet may come to be,
The flowering will not end;
The farthest, deepest valley blooms,
Now, poor heart, forget your pain!
Now must everything, everything change.

III. Verlust
Text Heinrich Heine (1787-1856)

Loss

Und wüßten's die Blumen, die kfeinen,
Wie tief verwundet mein Herz,
Sie wßrden mit mir weinen,
Zu heilen meinen Schmerz.

And if they knew, the flowers, the little ones,
How deeply wounded my heart is,
They would weep with me,
To heal my pain.

You dear art, in how many gray hours,
Where I was ensnared in life's wild circle,
Have you kindled warm love in my heart,
Have you moved me to a better world!

�Und wüßten's die Nachtigallen,
Wie ich so traurig und krank,
Sie ließen fröhlich erschallen
Erquickenden Gesang.

And if the nightingales knew,
How I am so sad and sick,
They would happily let ring out
Refreshing song.

Und wüßten sie mein Wehe,
Die goldnen Sternelein,
Sie kämen aus ihrer Höhe,
Und sprächen Trost mir ein.

And if they knew my pain,
The golden little stars,
They would come from their height,
And speak consolation to me.

Die a/le können's nicht wissen,
Nur Einer kennt meinen Schmerz;
Er hatja selbst zerrissen,
Zerrissen mir das Herz.

They all cannot know it,
Only one knows my pain;
He has, yes, himself ripped apart,
Ripped apart my heart.

Sehnsucht
Text: Johann Gustav Droysen (1809-1884)

Longing

Fern undferner schallt der Reigen.
Wohl mir! um mich her ist S chweigen
a Flur.
Aufder
Zu dem vol/en Herzen nur
Will nicht Ruh' sich neigen.

Far and farther sounds the round dance.
Well to me! around me here is silence
On the land.
Only to my full heart
Will rest not come.

Horeb! die Nacht schwebt durch die Riiume.
Ihr Gewand durchrauscht die Bäume
Lispelnd leis'.
Ach, so schweifen liebeheiß
Meine Wiinsch' und Träume.

Hark! The night soars through the space.
I ts robe rushes through the trees
Murmuring softly
Ah, thus roam, love-hot,
My wishes and dreams.

Italien
Text: Franz Grillparzer (1791-1872)

Italy

Schöner und schöner schmiickt sich der Plan,
S chmeichelnde Lüfte wehen mich an!
Fort aus der Prosa Lasten und Müh'
Zich' ich zum Lande der Poesie.

Fairer and fairer the plain decks itself,
As coaxing breezes blow me along!
Away from the burden and trouble of prose
Drawing me toward the land of poetry.

Gold'ner die Sonne, blauer die Luft,
Grüner die Grüne, würz'ger der Duft!
Dort an dem Maishalm, schwellend von Saft,
Sträubt sich der Aloe störrische Kraft;

More golden the sun, bluer the air,
Greener the green, more fragrant the scent!
There by the cornstalk, swelling with sap,
Struggles the aloe's obstinate strength;

Olbaum, Cypresse, blond du, du braun,
Nickt ihr wie zjerliche, grüßende Frau'n?
Was glänzt im Laube,funkelnd wie Gold?
Hal Pomeranze, birgst du dich hold?

Olive tree, cypress, one blond, and one brown,
Don't you nod like dainty, greeting ladies?
What gleams in the foliage, sparkling like gold?
Ah! Oranges, are you lovelies hiding there?

Trotz'ger Poseidon, wärest du dies,
Der unten scherzt und murmelt so süß?
Und dies, halb Wiese, halbAther zu schau'n,
Es wär des Meeres furchtbares Grau'n?

Defiant Poseidon, were you the same one,
Who below now jokes and murmurs so sweetly?
And this, half meadow, half ether, it seems,
Was the sea's fearsome horror?

Hier will ich wohnen, Göttliche du:
Bringst du, Parthenope, Wogen zur Ruh'?
Nun denn versuch' es, Eden der Lust,
Eb'ne die Wogen auch dieser Brust.

Here I would live! Godlike one:
Can you Parthenope bring the waves to rest?
Now then, try it, Eden of Joy,
And ease also, the waves in this breast.

�V. Mandoline
Text: Paul Verlaine (1844-1896)
Les donneurs de sérénades
Et !es belles écouteuses
Echangent des propos fades
Sous !es ramures chanteuses.

The givers of serenades
And the lovely listeners
Exchange vapid words
Under the singing branches.

C'est Tircis et c'est Aminte,
Et c'est l'éternel Clitandre,
Et c'est Damis qui pour mainte
Cruelle [fait]* maint vers tendre.

There's Thyrsis and there's Amyntas,
And there's the eternal Clytander,
And there's Damis who, for many a
Cruel woman, wrote many a tender verse.

Leurs courtes vestes de soie,
Leurs longues robes àqueues,
Leur élégance, leurJoie
Et leurs molles ombres bleues

Their short coats of silk,
Their long dresses with trains,
Their elegance, their joy
And their soft blue shadows

Tourbillonent dans l'extase
D'une lune rose et grise,
Et la mandolineJase
Parmi !es frissons de brise.

Whirl in the ecstasy
Of a moon pink and grey,
And the mandoline prattles
Among the shivers of the breeze.

Au bord de l'eau
Text: Sully-Prudhomme (1839-1907)
S 'asseoir taus deux au bard du flat qui passe,
Le voirpasser;
Taus deux, s'ilglisse un nuage en l'espace,
Le voir glisser;
À /'horizon s'ilfume un toit de chaume,
Le voirfumer;
Aux alentours si quelqueJleur embaume,
S 'en embaumer;

At the edge of the water

Entendre au pied du saule ou l'eau murmure
L 'eau murmurer;
Ne pas sentir tant que ce rêve dure,
Le temps durer;

To hear, at the foot of the willow where the water
murmurs, the water murmuring;
Not to feel, as long as this dream lasts,
The passage of time;

Mais, n 'apportent de passion profonde,
Qu 'à s 'adorer,
Sans nu! souci des querelles du monde,
Les ignorer;

But, bringing no deep passion,
Except to adore one another,
With no worry of the world's quarrels,
To ignore them;

Et seul taus deux devant tout ce qui lasse,
Sans se lasser,
S entir !'amour devant tout ce qui passé,
Ne point passer!

And alone, us two, before all that causes weariness,
Without wearing,
To feel love, faced with all things that pass away,
Not passing away!

To sit, us two, at the edge of the stream that passes,
To watch it pass;
Us two, if a cloud glides in the sky,
To watch it glide;
On the horizon, if a thatched roof smokes,
To watch it smoke;
Around us, if a flower imbues the air,
To be imbued;

�Les berceaux
Text: Sully Prudhomme

The cradles

Le long du quai, !es grands vaisseaux,
Que la houle incline en silence,
Ne prennent pas garde aux berceaux,
Que la main des.femmes balance.

All along the port, the big vessels, ·
That the swell sways in silence,
Pay no regard to the cradles
That the hands of women rock.

Mais viendra le jour des adieux,
Car iifaut que !es femmes pleurent,
Et que !es homes curieux,
Tentent !es horizons qui leurrent!

But it will come, the day of goodbyes,
As it is necessary that women weep,
And that curious men
Attempt the horizons that lure them!

Et ce jour-là !es grands vaisseaux,
Fuyant le port qui diminue,
Sentent leur masse retenue
Par l•âmedes lointains berceaux.

And that day, the big vessels,
Fleeing the vanishing port,
Feel their bulk held back
By the soul of the distant cradles.

Chanson d'amour
Text: Paul-Armand Silvestre (1937-1901)

Song of love

J'aime tesy eux,j'aime ton front,
0 ma re belle, ôma farouche,
J'aime tesy eux,j'aime ta bouche
Où mes baisers s 'épuiseront.
J 'aime ta voix,j'aime l'étrange
Grâce de tout ce que tu dis,
0 ma rebelle, ômon cher ange,
Mon en.fer et mon paradis!

I love your eyes, I love your forehead,
0 my rebel, o my fierce one,
I love your eyes, I love your mouth
Where my kisses will exhaust themselves.
I love your voice, I love the strange
Grace of all that you say,
0 my rebel, o my dear angel,
My hell and my paradise!

J'aime tout ce qui te fait belle,
t cheveux,
De tes pieds jusqu 'àtest
0 toi vers qui montent mes vœux,
rebe
rebelle!
ma
0 ma farouche, ôma

I love all that makes you beautiful,
From your feet to your hair,
0 you, toward whom my wishes rise,
0 my fierce one, o my rebel!

Der Hirt auf dem Felsen, D 965
Text after Wilhelm Miiller's poem
"The mountain shepherd"

Translation: Lionel Salter

Wenn auf dem hochsten Fels ich steh,
ins tiefe Thal herneider seh,
und singe, und singe,
fern aus dem tiefen, dunkeln Thal
schwingt sich empor der Wiederhall,
der Wiederhall der Klilfte.

When on the highest cliff I stand,
gaze down into the deep valley
and sing,
the echo from the ravines
floats upwards from the dark valley far
away.

Je weiter meine Stimme dringt,
Je heller sie mir wiederklingt,
von unten, von unten.
Mein Liebchen wohnt so weit von

The further my voice travels,
the clearer it returns to me
from below.
So far from me does my love dwell
that I yearn for her more ardently
over there.

mir,

drum sehn ich mich so heiB nach ihr
hinüber, hiniiber.
In tiefem Gram verzehr' ich mich,
mir ist die Freude hin,
aufErden mir die Hoffnung wich,
ich hier so einsam bin,
icR hier so einsam bin.

With deep grief Iam consumed,
my joy is at an end;
all hope on earth has left me;
I am so lonely here,
I am so lonely here.

�PROGRAM NOTES continued

So sehnend klang im Wald &lt;las Lied,
so sehnend klang es &lt;lurch die Nacht,
die Herzen es zum Himmel zieht
mit wunderbarer Macht.

So longingly sounded the song in the wood,
so longingly it sounded through the night,
drawing hearts heavenwards
with wondrous power.

Der Fruhling will kommen,
der Frühling meine Freud,
nun mach ich mich fertig zum
Wandern bereit.

Spring is coming,
Spring, my joy;
now I will make ready to go
journeying.

�ABOUT THE MUSIC

W e  close this season with two works of prodigious creativity that blend the
concepts, and test the limits, of musical form and musical fantasy.  Separated by a span
of eighty years, both premiered in  Paris and each represents a watershed moment in
music history, works that epitomize that recent popular­ cultural and advertising phrase
‘this changes everything ’. Berlioz’ programmatic symphony serves,  more  than  any
other work, as the dividing line leaving Classicism for Romanticism; Stravinsky’s ballet
is one of a handful of works whose premieres served to close that Romantic period. In
each case, the composition launched a major career; in each case the composer was not
yet thirty years of age; each  pushes the possibilities of the orchestra outwards, both
technically and timbrally, to unheard­of extremes. Finally, in  a way few compositions
do, each preserves through its freshness and originality a certain quality of mystery and
magic, which I hope that you will experience with us this evening. – TP

over the winter months of 1909­1910. The story draws from several versions folk fairy­
tales about Prince Ivan and the mythical Firebird. In  Slavic tales the Firebird represents
a ‘Quest of the Hero’; if caught, the bird will  employ its powers  (here, to help Ivan
free the princesses) in  return  for its release.  (The plot synopsis of the ballet follows
these program notes.)

Berlioz’ Symphonie Fantastique had  its genesis in the composer’s romantic
obsession  with  the  English  actress  Harriet  Smithson  (whom  he  ﬁrst saw  in  1827,
married in 1832 and divorced in 1844).  Driven by a (false) rumor of Smithson’s aﬀair
with her manager, Berlioz created the work in a white­heat of jealous inspiration. The
symphony  traces  in  its  ﬁve  movements  an  arched  progression  of their  fantasized
relationship as experienced by “a young musician of unhealthily sensitive natu re an d
endowed with vivid imagination”:
I.  Idealized love; II. Actualized love;
III. Happiness, suspicion and betrayal;
IV. Negation of actualized love; V. Negation of idealized love.
(Berlioz’ full ‘program ’ follows these program notes)
The famous idée ﬁxe  ­ the theme of the beloved ­ opens the faster section of the ﬁrst
movement,  and  appears throughout  the  work  as a continuous  musical  marker  that
Berlioz varies with the psychological context of the situation.  All movements except
the  ﬁrst  employ a  real­life  context as metaphors for the  emotional  progress of the
turbulent and ultimately doomed romance.
The work  fairly  bristles with  Berlioz’ brilliant and innovative orchestration
ranging from the English horn­oboe duet in  the third movement pastorale to the col
legno (tapping the string with the wood of the bow) eﬀects from the Witches’ Sabbath
to the four­player timpani chords that imitate distant thunder at the conclusion of the
third movement.  All elements are given new ﬂexibility in the service of the ‘fantastic ’.
Berlioz’ dynamic (volume) markings are pushed to pppp levels never before req uested
and the balance of all  parts  is  marked with  extraordinary care.  Harmonic invention
includes the juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated chords, creating a number of  ‘sound
eﬀects’. Finally, the phrase structure employs extensions and elisions and freq uently
departs from the 2­4­ and 8­bar norm of the period. As Berlioz biographer David Cairns
remarks,  “Berlioz in the  ‘Fantastic ’ Symphony was  s peaking a new language : not only

a new language of orchestral sound...but also a new language of feeling.”

The  Firebird  was  the  ﬁrst  of  the  three  ballet  scores  composed  by  Igor
Stravinsky  between  1910  and  1913  for  Serge  Diaghilev’s  Ballet  Russe  company
( Petroushka and The Rite of Spring completing the trio).  Stravinsky worked from the
scenario by Mikhail Fokin, to which he also contributed, composing the score in Russia

Musically, the entire ballet derives from the ﬁrst six­notes of the score.  The
compositional processes Stravinsky employs with this thematic ‘interval cell’ built on
the tritone interval are much closer to those used by his contemporary Bela Bartok than
to the Russian school in which Stravinsky trained. The original orchestration is large,
complex  and  brilliant, and while  showing  much  inﬂuence  of Stravinsky’s teacher,
Rimsky­Korsakov, goes into  uncharted territory in terms of musical eﬀects like the
harmonic  slides  of  the  Introduction  and  the  virtuosic  ﬂuttering  in  the  ﬁrebird’s
‘Variation ’. Tonight’s 1919 suite is scored for a standard symphonic orchestra and joins
suites completed in  1910 and 1945 by the composer.  The work was rehearsed in  St.
Petersburg with  ﬁnal  preparation  in  Paris from  May  1910. The  premiere  proved  a
triumph  for  the  dance  company  and  the  composer  and  established  Stravinsky
­TP April 2009
permanently at the forefront of Parisian musical life.

BERLIOZ’S SYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE:
Composer’s Note
The composer’s intention has been to develop, insofar as  they contain musical
possibilities,  various  situations  in  the  life  of  a n   artist.  The  outline  of  the
instrumental drama, which lacks the help of words, needs to be explained in advance.
The following program should thus be  considered as  the spoken text  of an  opera,
serving to  introduce  the  musical  movements,  whose  character  an d expression  it
motivates.

[
\

PROGRAM FROM THE PUBLISHED SCORE
A young musician of unhealthily sensitive nature and endowed with vivid imagination
has poisoned himself with opium in a paroxysm of love­sick despair. The narcotic dose
was too weak to cause death, but it has thrown him into a long sleep accompanied by
the most extraordinary visions. In this condition, his sensations, feeling, and memories
ﬁnd utterance in his sick brain in the form of musical imagery. Even the beloved one
takes the  form of melody in  his  mind, like an ever­returning idée ﬁxe that  he  hears
everywhere.
Ist movement : Visions and Passions. At  ﬁrst, he thinks of the  uneasy and nervous
condition of his mind, of sombre longings, of depression and joyous elation without any
recognizable cause, which he experienced before the beloved one had appeared to him.
Then he remembers the ardent love with which she suddenly inspired him; he thinks of
the almost insane anxiety of his mind, of his raging jealousy, of his re­awakening love,
and of religious consolation.

2 nd movement : A Ball. In a ball­room, amid the confusion of  a brilliant festival, he
ﬁnds the beloved one again.

�3rd movement : Scene  in  the Country. On a summer evening, he  is  in  the country
musing when he hears two shepherd lads playing the ranz des vaches (a tune used  to
call ﬂocks together) in alternation. The shepherd­duet, the location, the soft whisperings
of  the  trees  stirred  by  the  zephyr­wind,  remembered  hopeful  prospects­­all  these
sensations unite to impart a long­unknown repose to his heart and lend a smiling color
to his imagination. A nd then she appears once more. His heart stops beating as painful
forebodings ﬁll his soul: “ What if she should prove false to him?” One of the shepherds
resumes the melody, but the other answers him no more. ... Sunset ... distant rolling of
thunder ... loneliness ... silence.
4th movement : March to the Scaﬀold. He dreams that he has murdered his beloved­
that he has been condemned to death and is being led to the scaﬀold.  A march that is
alternately sombre an d wild, brilliant and solemn, accompanies the procession. ... The
tumultuous outbursts are  followed  without  modulation  by  measured steps. The idée
ﬁxe returns; for  a moment a  last thought of love  is  revived­­which is cut short by the
death­blow.
5th  movement : Dream of a  Witches’ Sabbath.  He dreams  that  he  is  present  at  a
witches’ dance, surrounded by horrible spirits, amid sorcerers and monsters in  many
fearful forms, all come to attend his funeral. Strange sounds are heard­­ groans, shrill
laughter, distant yells, which other cries seem to answer. The beloved melody is heard
again, but it has lost its noble and shy character, and become a vulgar, trivial, grotesq ue
kind of dance. It is she who now comes to attend the witches’ sabbath. Friendly howls
and shouts greet her arrival ... she joins the infernal orgy ... bells toll for the dead ... a
burlesque parody of the Dies Irae ... the witches’ round­dance ­the dance and the Dies
Irae are heard together.

L ’OISEAU DE FEU ( THE FIREBIRD): SYNOPSIS
Stravinsky’s ballet ce nters on the journey of its hero, Prince Ivan.
Ivan enters the magical  realm of Kashchei the Immortal; all  of the  magical
objects and creatures of Kashchei are herein  represented  by a chromatic descending
motif, usually in the strings. While wandering in the gardens, he sees and chases the
Firebird. The Firebird, once caught by Ivan, begs for its life and ultimately agrees to
assist Ivan in exchange for eventual freedom .

Next, Prince Ivan sees thirteen princesses, with one of whom he falls in love.
The next day, Ivan chooses to confront Kashchei to ask to marry  one of the princesses;
the  two  talk  and  eventually  begin  quarreling.  When  Kashchei  sends  his  magical
creatures  after  Ivan,  the  Firebird  ­ true  to  its  pledge  ­  intervenes,  bewitching  the
creatures and making them dance an elaborate, energetic dance (the “Infernal Dance") .

Trumpet

The creatures and Kashchei then fall asleep; however, Kashchei awakens and
is  then  sent  into  another  dance  by  the  Firebird.  While  Kashchei  is  bewitched, the
Firebird  tells Ivan the secret  to Kashchei’s immor tality and Ivan destroys it,  killing
Kashchei.

With Kashchei gone  and his magic broken, the magical creatures and palace
all disappear.  All of the “real” beings (including the princesses) awaken and, with one
ﬁnal ﬂeeting appearance from the Firebird, celebrate their victory and freedom.

Who could tire of her?
Her beauty constantly renews itself;
On neither side of the ocean
Do I know any girl or woman
Who is in all virtues so perfect;
It‘s a dream even to think of her;
God, what a vision she is.

II. Q u a n t   ouy le tabourin
When I heard the tambourine
Call us to go a­Maying,
I did not let it frighten me in my bed
Or lift my head from my pillow,
Saying, “It is too early,
1 will go back to sleep.”
When I heard the tambourine
Call us to go a­Maying
Young folks dividing their spoils,
l cloaked myself in nonchalance,
Clinging to it
And ﬁnding the nearest neighbor.
When I heard the tambourine
Call us to go a­Maying,
I did not let it frighten me in my bed
Or lift my head from my pillow.

Dan Forest

Selah. 

God, what a vision she is ;
One imbued with grace,
true and beautiful!
For all the virtues that are hers
Everyone is quick to praise her.

{

\

III. Yver, vous n‘estes q u ’un villain
Winter, you ’re naught but a rogue.
Summer is pleasant and kind,
As we see from May and April,
Which accompany it evening and morn.
Summer, by nature’s order, clothes
ﬁelds, woods and ﬂowers
With its livery of green
And many other hues.
But you, Winter, are too full
Of snow, wind, rain and sleet.
We must send you into exile.
I’m no ﬂatterer and I speak my mind.
Winter, you’re naught but a rogue.

Five Hebrew Love Songs
1 . Tem una

A picture is engraved in my heart;
Moving between light and darkness:
A sort of silence envelops your body,

And your hair falls upon your face
just so.
2. Kala kalla
Light bride

She is all mine

And lightly
She will kiss me!

3. Larov
“Mostly,” said the roof to the sky,
“the distance between you and l
is endlessness;

But a while ago two came up here,
And only one centimeter

was left between us.”

4. Eyze shaleg
What snow!
Like little dreams
Falling from the sky.
5. Ra kut
He was full of tenderness;

She was very hard.

And as much as she tried to stay thus,
Simply, and with no good reason,
He took her into himself,
And set her down
In the softest, softest place.
(Hila Plitmann)
A rirang
Arirang, my love is leaving.
Arirang, he is going over the hill.
The one who leaves me
Will not go far without hurting his feet.
Donde esta la M a  Teodo ra?

Where is she?

Where is she, the Ma Teodora?
She is ﬂick­ﬂacking the strings
with her cane and her guitar strum.

�PROGRAM

wINTERMISSION¢3

In  this  program  we  present  an  evening  of  dance­drumming  from  southern
Ghana.  The  Nukporfe  Dance­Drumming ensemble is  made  up  of advanced
drummers  and  dancers  who  have progressed  through  various  introductory
courses  including  the  Beginning  and  Advanced  sections  of  African  Dance
(THEA  289J/389J;AFST 289J/389J) and  the African  Music  Ensemble  (MUS
143B/AFST  188B).  These  courses  are  oﬁered  each  semester  through  the

commonly used to  open dance performances throughout southern Ghana,
Togo and Benin.

I. Agbekor. Agbekor is a war dance of the Ewe people of Ghana. As the
drummers and dancers proceed to the stage in traditional fashion, they sing
a war song that calls the warriors to battle against the  European colonial
powers. The second song memorializes the great warrior Kundo who led
warriors into battle and has been killed. This was originally a war dance of
the Ewe people. The movements imitate moments of the battle, and follow
the drum language of the lead drum, atsimevu.

VII. Togo Atsia. This dance piece is made up of a series of choreographed
dance  sequences  known  as  atsia. These  sequences  are  cued  by  drum
language phrases [vugbe] played by the lead drummer on atsimevu – the tall
drum leaning on the stand – which are answered by the response drum kidi
–  the  medium–sized  drum.  In  the  19605,  expert  choreographers  and
drummers  in  the  Ghana  Dance  Ensemble  arranged  this  series  of  atisd
movements into a performance piece, which they dubbed Togo Atsia, in
recognition of their source within Ewe groups in Togo.

Departments of Africana Studies, Music, and Theatre Dance.

II. Kinka. Kinka is a funeral dance of the southern Ewe. It  only uses one
basic movement so that regular members of the community can participate
in the dance.
III. Kpatsa. This dance comes from a neighboring group of the Ewe, known
as the Ga­Adangbe. They share many linguistic and cultural aﬀinities with
the Ewe, and these two groups have historically interacted with each other.
T he characteristic movement of Kpatsa is a limping gait that imitates t he
movements of dwarfs, a magical race of beings which inhabit rural areas in
Ghana. These movements were embellished with dance combinations and
eventually became a social and recreational dance known as Kpatsa, whose
name is an onomatopoeic reference to the movement of dwarfs.
IV. Adzokpa  ‘Ele  ‘lodo – ge matso ’ [It is tired, let it fall and I will pick it
up!]. In southern Ewe drumming, an adzokpa is an interlude to the main
dance(s) consisting of a drum language conversation between the lead drum
and the chorus. The lead drum intones the ﬁrst part of the conversation
(before the hyphen) and the chorus intones the second part. The adzokpa
presented here is a humorous quip about to a woman’s big buttocks, the
drums say, ‘let it fall, we will catch it!”

V. Gahu. Gahu is a neo­traditional dance that has been adopted and adapted
by the Ewe people of Ghana. It  is an oﬀshoot of the Gome dance, a Pan­
Atlantic  African  dance  form that  emerged  in  the  19” century from  the
synthesis  of  European  hymns and  marches  with  West  African  musical
sensibilities. The  name Gahu suggests an airplane, and  represents local
experiences  with  new  technology  and  culture.  The  songs  are  often
humorous and fun, suggesting themes of courtship and celebration.

VI. Invocational Song “Hunye de". A music performance typically begins

wit h a n invocation consisting of o ne o r m ore songs normally used to notify
t he spirits a n d a ncest ors t hat t hey a re goi ng t o pe rfo rm . T h e  p rese nt so ng is

VIII. Adzokpa  ‘Kpo towo gbo  d ’asi mado lo, adzianye vi, d ’asi mado lo ’
[Go back home, my love, let me sleep!]. This adzokpa is another humorous
tale of an exhausted lover, who begs their partner for a moment of rest.  It
could be spoken from the male or female point of view.
IX. Sohoun. Sohoun is an Ewe­Fon sacred dance used to open a ceremony
of the Yeve shrine. The original movements danced at the shrine inspired
the choreography for this folkloric version, created by Dr. Opoku for the
Ghana Dance Ensemble.

X. Sikyi. This dance is another neo­contemporary dance of the Akan people
of southern  and  central  Ghana.  Sikyi,  pronounced  see  chee,  forms the
rhythmic  foundation  of  Ghanaian  Highlife  music,  the  primary style  of
popular music in Ghana.
X1.  Gota. Gota  is a  Fon dance that  is  played for  many diﬀerent social
occasions.  lts  original  version  is  played  on  gourds  rather  than  drums;
however, the Ewe have transferred it  on to their standard drum set. It  was
also choreographed by the Ghana Dance Ensemble. We would like to invite
members of the audience to come up and participate in this dance.
